Abstract

The preheater is for heated fuel which is returned from a Diesel engine. The fuel is fed to the tank or the engine, dependant upon the temperature of the returned or supplied fuel. A min. amount of fuel is always returned into the fuel tank, e.g. at least 40% of the fuel. A valve (17) can be connected to the fuel filter so that the unfiltered side chamber (14) is connected. the fuel temp. is measured by a bi-metallic disc (11). The system pressure is set by a throttle valve (20) or a non-return valve in the line to the tank.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Kraftstoffvor­ wärmung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for fuel Heating according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei Dieselmotoren ist aus DE 34 27 396 A1 eine Ventil-Vor­ richtung bekannt, die den vom Motor kommenden rückzuführen­ den erwärmten Kraftstoff in Abhängigkeit von seiner Tempe­ ratur entweder direkt wieder dem Motor zuführt oder zurück in den Tank leitet.In the case of diesel engines, DE 34 27 396 A1 describes a valve front direction known to return the coming from the motor the heated fuel depending on its tempe either directly to the motor or back leads into the tank.

Diese Vorrichtung hat den Nachteil, daß das Regelverhalten der zur Steuerung des Kraftstoffstromes eingesetzten Bime­ tall-Scheibe große Schwankungen aufweist. Wenn ein Großteil des rückgeführten und erwärmten Kraftstoffs im Kreislauf geführt wird, so überwärmt sich dieser infolge seiner ge­ ringen Masse relativ schnell, so daß die Bimetall-Scheibe schon sehr früh umschaltet und den rückgeführten Kraftstoff vollständig in den Tank leitet. Der dann aus dem Tank neu angesaugte Kraftstoff ist allerdings noch kalt, so daß die Bimetall-Scheibe schon nach kurzer Zeit wieder auf Vorwär­ mung umstellt. Dadurch entstehen unerwünschte Regelschwin­ gungen.This device has the disadvantage that the control behavior the bime used to control the fuel flow tall disc shows large fluctuations. If a lot of the recirculated and heated fuel in the circuit is led, it overheats as a result of its ge wrestle mass relatively quickly, so the bimetal disc switches very early and the returned fuel completely into the tank. The new one from the tank drawn fuel is still cold, so the Bimetallic washer preheats after a short time change. This creates undesirable control fluctuations gung.

Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich daher mit dem Problem, bei einer gattungsgemäßen Ventilvorrichtung unerwünschte Regel­ schwingungen zu vermindern. The invention is therefore concerned with the problem of a generic valve device undesirable rule reduce vibrations.  

Dieses Problem wird bei der gattungsgemäßen Ventilvorrich­ tung gelöst durch eine Ausgestaltung mit den kennzeichnen­ den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This problem is with the generic valve device tion solved by a design with the mark the features of claim 1. Advantageous further developments are the subject of the subclaims.

Durch die Einleitung eines bestimmten Mindestanteils des rückgeführten Kraftstoffs in den Kraftstofftank wird die Regelcharakteristik der Ventilvorrichtung so beeinflußt, daß die Schaltfrequenz der Bimetallscheibe verringert wird.By initiating a certain minimum proportion of the fuel returned to the fuel tank will be the Control characteristic of the valve device is influenced so that the switching frequency of the bimetal disc is reduced.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbei­ spieles erklärt. Es zeigtThe invention is illustrated below with the aid of an embodiment game explained. It shows

Fig. 1 eine erfindungsgemäße Ventilvor­ richtung im Querschnitt. Fig. 1 shows a valve device according to the invention in cross section.

Eine Ventilvorrichtung 17 kann mit Schrauben so an einem Kraftstoffilter befestigt werden, daß der Raum 14 mit der Filterrohseite verbunden ist. Der vom Motor rückgeführte Kraftstoff wird einem Ringraum 18 zugeführt, von wo er über einen Ringspalt 16 in Abhängigkeit von der Stellung einer Bimetall-Scheibe 11 und damit in Abhängigkeit von der Tem­ peratur des diese umgebenden Kraftstoffs entweder dem Tan­ krücklauf 15 oder der Filterrohseite 14 zugeführt wird. Mit einer Drossel 20 oder einem Rückschlagventil in der Leitung zum Tank wird der Systemdruck so eingestellt, daß auch bei saugseitiger Montage des Filters bzw. der Ventilvorrichtung die Funktion gewährleistet ist. Die Bimetall-Scheibe 11 wird durch eine Feder 19 gegen eine Anlage gedrückt, so daß auch während des Schaltvorganges der Bimetall-Scheibe immer eine Anlage des Scheibenrands an der Flanke des Ringspalts 16 erfolgt. A valve device 17 can be attached to a fuel filter with screws so that the space 14 is connected to the filter raw side. The fuel returned from the engine is fed to an annular space 18 , from where it either through the tan return 15 or the filter raw side 14 via an annular gap 16 depending on the position of a bimetallic disk 11 and thus depending on the temperature of the fuel surrounding it becomes. With a throttle 20 or a check valve in the line to the tank, the system pressure is set so that the function is guaranteed even when the filter or the valve device is installed on the suction side. The bimetallic disc 11 is pressed against a system by a spring 19 , so that the disc edge always abuts the flank of the annular gap 16 even during the switching operation of the bimetallic disc.

Über einen Bypaß 21 wird ein Mindestanteil des rückgeführ­ ten Kraftstoffs vom Ringraum 18 in die zum Tank führende Leitung 15 geführt. Dieser kann z. B. bei 40% liegen, so daß in den beiden stabilen Stellungen der Bimetall-Scheibe entweder 100% - bei Verschluß der Filterrohseite 14 durch die Bimetall-Scheibe - oder nur 40% des rückgeführten Kraftstoffs in den Tank geleitet werden.Via a bypass 21 , a minimum proportion of the return fuel is guided from the annular space 18 into the line 15 leading to the tank. This can e.g. B. are at 40%, so that in the two stable positions of the bimetallic disc either 100% - when the filter raw side 14 is closed by the bimetallic disc - or only 40% of the returned fuel is passed into the tank.

Die Querschnitte von Ringspalt 16, Bypaß 21 und Drossel 20 bestimmen die Teilmengen, die jeweils zum Filter bzw. in den Tank geleitet werden.The cross sections of the annular gap 16 , bypass 21 and throttle 20 determine the partial quantities which are each fed to the filter or into the tank.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Ventilvorrichtung kann in ein vorhandenes System nachträglich eingebaut werden. Eben­ so kann eine Seite des Ventils Bestandteil eines Filterge­ häuses sein.The valve device shown in the drawing can in an existing system can be retrofitted. Exactly so one side of the valve can be part of a filter be house.

Bei einer weiteren, hier nicht dargestellten Variante kann der vom Tank angesaugte Kraftstoff dem Filter so zugeführt werden, daß er die Bimetall-Scheibe filterseitig umspült.In a further variant, not shown here, can the fuel drawn from the tank is fed to the filter be that it rinses the bimetal disc on the filter side.
